    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    Glass is not acceptable in our bin at home so we have to take it to the community bins. That is one of the most difficult parts of recycling for me. I try to buy eggs & things that are packaged in cardboard instead of styrofoam or plastic because I know cardboard boxes can go in the recycle bin
